Phantasm II is the Scream Factory release, and it rounds out my Phantasm collection. I was contemplating buying the whole Friday the 13th series, but decided against it and bought the 4-movie collection (Part 2 and The Final Chapter will be featured on Fresh Eyes). I actually bought Trick ‘r Treat on Halloween because I realized I didn’t own it and seriously needed to. To wrap it all up, here are some Cryptkeeper puns.

It’s been a long while. I’ve been buying and selling my movies since the last installment of THE LOOT, but I’ve been a terrible at keeping you up to date. So I’m just going to start again and not play catchup because that would be insanity.

I was lucky enough to go to Rock and Shock’s 10th Anniversary a couple weekends ago, and of COURSE picked up some loot:

Black Devil Doll (2007)

The Manson Family (2003)

Mardi Gras Massacre (1978)

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1977)

We Are What We Are (2010)

You Better Watch Out (2013)

I won’t post all the trailers, but let me leave you with the trailer for Mardi Gras Massacre. This one is a gem:

While I know I shouldn’t be buying myself much of anything during the holiday season, I absolutely COULD NOT pass up the 50 cent VHS sale at the Book Barn. It started during Thanksgiving, so the sale was already a few weeks in. Nonetheless, I walked out of there with quite the loot.

Ticks

Yes, I already own Ticks. No, it is not on VHS.

Delusion

AKA The House Where Death Lives.

The Rage: Carrie 2

Considered one of the worst and unnecessary sequels ever, I couldn’t pass it up.

The Little Shop of Horrors

Probably one of the better films I picked up. The original Roger Corman film with lil’ Jackie Nicholson.

Great Balls of Fire

Yeah, that movie with Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis. Still in the plastic wrap!

“Whatever Happened To Aunt Alice?”

Could be pretty huge.

Super Fly

Invitation to Hell

Wes Craven’s made-for-TV classic! I actually had no idea Craven did it until after I got home. And then I got even more excited. Featuring that punk from The NeverEnding Story!

Rock ‘n Roll Nightmare

Probably my favorite snag. I can’t find a trailer for it, but I found this clip.

This is a special Birthday Weekend Edition of The Loot. My birthday was Saturday, but I spent some of Friday picking out some solid flicks.

Psycho

Dark Night of the Scarecrow

Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV

Pink Flamingos

I’ve seen Psycho, but I also found out it’s the 50th anniversary of the film, so a DVD was in order. I watched Pink Flamingos that night with my girlfriend and…well, it was interesting to say the least. I still need to get The Toxic Avenger III, and I’ve always wanted Dark Night of the Scarecrow.

On my actual birthday, I took advantage of the Criterion Collection sale at Barnes & Noble. But, 50% Criterion is still somewhat expensive. So I bought two really cheap movies along with it!

I Am Curious: Yellow

I Am Curious: Blue

Bye Bye Birdie

Father and Scout

I am currently watching Father and Scout…and it’s god awful. What happened with this TV movie? There was just a 5 second shot of Bob Saget’s ass.
